How to Choose a Mortgage Banker By Marc Walz When looking for your next mortgage banker, it’s always a good practice to look beyond quoted rates. Sometimes finding and purchasing your dream home can take time. Choosing someone who is diligent and experienced can significantly reduce any potential problems with your transaction. But if an unavoidable speed-bump on the road to closing happens, it is important to know you are part of a dependable, positive team that you can count on to be upfront, proactive, and creative. A good mortgage banker should qualify you for a loan that fits your overall financial plan and understand that your future goals are just as important as your current needs. Here are some tips to keep in mind while finding your mortgage banker. Find a mortgage banker who… • Has a good reputation. Referrals from people you trust are often the best way to ensure a smooth mortgage process. When you find a trustworthy mortgage banker, you should protect your friends and family by referring them to your mortgage banker as well. • Answers all of your questions in a direct and straightforward manner. • You are comfortable working with. Personality is especially important when you run into those unavoidable problems! • Is professional and knowledgeable about your options. • Is patient and understanding. That they take the time to listen to your needs and concerns, and takes the time to explain everything to you clearly. • Provides guidance and reassurance when necessary. • Is accessible and has a team you can rely on. • Gives you the personal attention and respect you deserve. At RMS, we know that sometimes finding just the right house to call home can be a long, frustrating process. That’s why we’re committed to making home financing as simple and straightforward as possible. From helping prepare your initial paperwork through closing on the home of your dreams, you can trust that RMS has it covered. Unlike retail banks and credit unions, RMS pro-

Top 10 Communities South and West of Boston By Anthony Fireman

In addition, the long awaited 2-million square-foot University Station, will start construction later this year or in 2014. The community will encompass 600,000 square feet of retail, 350 residential units and 16 acres of open space. 3. Sharon. Boston.com ranked Sharon High School #1 for its low student-to-teacher ratio and average SAT score of 1775. In addition, local shopping at Cobb's Corner, beach at Lake Massapoag and short ride to Providence by train or by car make Sharon a hit.

Everyone has their own reasons for buying a home. Some folks seek solitude of a small town while others like a city's energy. Some need a place to raise a family with good schools while others find commuter options important too. While I recognize there are many more reasons to buy, here are my top 10 markets for buyers south and west of Boston.

4. Easton. Easton is an excellent location for those who want easy access to Cape Cod and Boston in about an hour. With so many baby boomers driving the Cape's second home sales, Easton's condominium market has been brisk. Thus, sales surged 50% with prices up 8%. On a side note, Easton's single family homes are not too shabby either.

1. Natick. It's not uncommon to hear Natick homes being sold without a realtor. Natick is highly regarded for its school system and proximity to Worcester and Boston by the Mass Pike and commuter rail. Moreover, besides top notch educational facilities, Natick is known more for its retail outlets such as the Natick Mall, Sherwood Plaza and Shoppers World.

5. Lakeville. This is a great town for families who enjoy the outdoors. Clear Pond Park's beach, diving raft, picnic tables and even mini-golf are popular. For sports enthusiasts, Ted Williams Camp is a sports complex with ball fields and volleyball, tennis and even a horseshoe court. It is no wonder home sales have jumped 10% over the past year.

2. Westwood. Westwood has an excellent record for academics. This year US News & World Report honored Westwood with the silver medal ranking it the 26th best school in the state and 596th in the country.

6. Medfield. I spoke to Tim Sullivan of Medfield Properties, LLP about what makes the Medfield's market tick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medfield sells because families refer other families here. In addition, the school system

NEHomeLife.com | August 2013 NEHomeLife.com | July 2012

is one of the best in the state and it is an easy place to integrate into. Also, the athletic programs in the schools and their feeder programs are strong.â&#x20AC;? 7. Rockland. The Boston Globe noted Rockland as one of Greater Boston's top spots to live in 2013. Rockland's appeal stems from its blue collar roots keeping prices affordable. For example, on Union Street, you can buy a 3,100 square-foot, 5-bedroom antique home for $379,900. The house comes with 2 full bathrooms, 2-story barn, fully applianced kitchen and central air conditioning.

8. Freetown. This was also part of the Boston Globe's list and you can see why. For $359,900, you can buy a new home built in 2003 with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 2-car garage, and oversize deck all on just over 2.5 acres of land. The downstairs is an open floor plan with a kitchen decked out to the nines. This community of about 9,000 people is also coveted for its quaint feel thanks to Long Pond, one of the most spectacular bodies of water in that part of Massachusetts. 9. New Bedford. New Bedford's 13% sales jump comes from new residential developments and other city-wide revitalization efforts.

Examples of each include Manomet Place, once an old clothing mill, was converted to a 76-unit complex catering to seniors. In town, Route 18 has been revamped with an array of waterfront restaurants, museums and other hot spots.

10. Medway. As of this writing, a home in Medway on Ohlson Circle is listed for $449,000. The property has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, one a master, and 3,100 square-feet of living space on just under 2 acres. Speaking of acres, the Medway Community Farm is a place where families can help maintain a farm. The 7 acre property offers summer courses for kids and have a farm stand too. This is my list. The real question is what is on your list? NOTE: Statistics taken from Multiple Listing Service Property Information Network and refer to single-family properties unless otherwise noted.

The Highlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fall River, MA By NEHL Staff

In the north end of Fall River high above the Taunton River with wonderful sunset views to the west is a region known as the Highlands. The "Highlands" in Fall River was originally known as the Rodman Farm. The area is located along a high ridge with views of the Taunton River and Mount Hope Bay. After the original downtown area of the city suffered a devastating fire in 1843, the wealthy mill owners and their families gradually sought to distance themselves from the central business district. In the next 20 years over 500 beautiful homes were constructed in the Highlands region. For those of you who think that the American

Revolution was only fought in greater Boston. On May 25, 1778, during the American Revolutionary War, the Battle of Freetown was fought when about 150 English soldiers, under the command of Major Ayers, sailed up Mount Hope Bay in the night and landed near the mouth of the Quequechan River. Spotted by a sentinel, the ship was fired upon by several local minutemen, their gunfire returned by cannon fire. Several British soldiers disembarked to lay siege on the village, burning the house, gristmill and sawmill of Thomas Borden, and taking his aged father, Richard, prisoner and burning his house as well.

The Highlands region, which has expanded over the years, features larger historic homes on larger lots of land with some of the most unique and interesting properties in New England. The Highlands Historic District contains a wide variety of mostly residential homes largely built between 1840 and 1925. Just one home, the Church-Tory house (c.1750) at 96 French Street predates the major development of the area. The district also includes North Park, designed by the Olmsted Brothers in the mid-1880s. Highlands Historic District was originally

bounded by June, Cherry, and Weetamoe Streets west and Lincoln, Highland, President, North Main, and Hood avenues north in Fall River, Massachusetts. The district lies just north of the Lower Highlands Historic District. The Highlands Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It encompasses over 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) and contains hundreds of homes and other structures. For much of its history, the city of Fall River, Massachusetts has been defined by the rise and fall of its cotton textile industry. From its beginnings as a rural outpost of the Plymouth Colony, the city grew to become the largest textile producing center in the United States during the 19th century, with over one hundred mills in operation by 1920. Even with the demise of local textile productions during the 20th century, there remains a lasting legacy of its impact on the city. Today the Fall River Highlands region has connected the extensively developed north end of the city to make one of the Southcoastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular communities. With easy access to highways that connect the Boston, Providence and the Cape regions it has become a favorite of homebuyers in the region.

Fall River and New Bedford, MA on the Rebound By Christopher Terry

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

If you have been listening to the news lately about the real estate market you would think boom times are back. Talk of bidding wars, lack of inventory, price appreciation. And for some areas of the country that is true. In fact, according to the Homes.com Rebound Report, the #1 rebound market in the country is San Antonio TX with at 233%. So, you can imagine if our market had rebounded 233% we would feel like we were riding new real estate highs, we might even be rejoicing in higher rates to help slowdown of the market! But unfortunately this is a big country with many real estate markets. So where does Southern New England place on the Homes.com Rebound Report list? The good news is the report does show that our market has rebounded, but according to this report the Providence-New Bedford-Fall River, MA-RI metro area has had the lowest rebound at only 6.08%. What does the mean? Well, if you are firsttime buyer this is good news. It means that the Providence/Greater Fall River markets are still a good buyers market. No doubt, it is getting more expensive as rates go up, but the housing market still has a long way to go before we see a 200% rebound. If you are a first-time buyer and want to learn how to get on track to making the

best purchase possible discover how by visiting http://www.ezhomesearch.net/save. And if you are a seller don't be fooled by the hype! There is a tendency to overestimate the change in the market resulting in overpricing and in our market an overpriced home simply will not sell! As rates continue to raise buyers purchasing power falls, they simply cannot afford to purchase as much house. If you're interested in knowing how the change in the market has affected your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value visit http://www.ezhomesearch.net/FreeHomeValuation. We'll create a detailed valuation of your home and send it your email with no obligation. The news from the Homes.com Rebound Report may not be great for Southern New England but it does mean that we will be able enjoy a slower, longer recovery, giving home buyers and home sellers more time to plan their futures and not be subject to the explosive market conditions seen in other parts of the country.

City Living | By Michelle Easter

Boston’s Million-Dollar Real Estate Market Why We Are Headed For a Record Year in Downtown Luxury Sales.

The recent buzz about the Fed and the speculation of a rise in interest rates permeated many circles, the question is often asked, how would a rise in interest rates affect our real estate market? The logical answer would be a rise in interest rates decreases buying power, in turn decreases buyer demand, meaning a lowering of housing prices and sales. But, what if inventory is so low, yet the need for housing is still so high? The answer would be… as is the case for the downtown Boston market, a rise in interest rates would have very little impact. This is especially seen in the $1 Million plus housing market in downtown Boston, where a recession was hardly felt, and where we are on track to experience a historic year in high end real estate sales. As of this week, we have seen 407 sales in the $1Million plus sector, 26 of which have been in the $3 Million plus range. This is almost a 38% increase over last year’s 296 high-end sales, which took place during the same period. Further, what’s also important to note is, a good portion of downtown sales have been cash transactions. 6868

NEHomeLife.com | August 2013

Newly constructed full-service luxury buildings such as The Mandarin, Battery Wharf, and The Intercontinental have historically accounted for downtown’s luxury sales, especially in 2008 where The Mandarin and Battery Wharf ’s new construction sales were major contributors toward the record holding year of 873 year-end sales in the $1M+ sector (despite the housing crash that soon followed). At 2013’s pace, we are headed to blow the 2008 record away—with a projected 1054 year-end of luxury sales. What is most interesting, is that full service inventory has dwindled as the newer of downtown’s full service luxury buildings-- The Clarendon has only one condo left, The W is nearing its sell-out, as is 45 Province. Millennium Place, the newest luxury condominium development still under construction by Millennium Partners (also developers for The Ritz and One Charles), has already experienced 70% in presales according to sales director, Patrick Cutter, with its marketing campaign having only started in October of last year…incredible!

The highlight here is 2013 is marking a record year in re-sales, and these sales are not concentrated in just a few new construction buildings, but rather all over Boston’s downtown neighborhoods, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End, Watefront, Midtown….and the emerging South Boston/Seaport areas. Leverage trends to date show nearly 43% of closings have been in cash across the Boston housing market with an average sales price of $738,423--up over about 11% from 2012. Some of the higher net worth “cash buyers” are actually using creative forms of financing that allows a buyer to collateralize an investment portfolio, borrowing against the assets held at their brokerage account rather than using conventional financing. According to David Barcomb, Managing Director of Global Wealth management at Merrill Lynch, “this trend has never been more prevalent than it is today as rates at the short end of the curve remain at record lows.” Increased housing sales in the suburbs are affording cash-heavy empty-nesters the opportunity of leaving larger homes, requiring upkeep and maintenance, and moving into condo-living in a vibrant downtown Boston where entertainment, renowned restaurants, and an array of activities are just a short walk around the corner. We are also experiencing a trend where by young professionals starting families, who would historically choose to move to the burbs, are choosing to remain in the city. Our prevalence

of booming high tech and biomedical industries are keeping young high-income earners in place, choosing to live near their work. And…our globally renowned schools continue to attract high wealth international buyers who oftentimes choose to purchase a home for their student child rather than have them live in the dorms. They view the home purchase as an investment and a cash placeholder (oftentimes, a more secure investment than their own countries) that will be able to house their children as they come of age to study in the U.S. While we are experiencing a record year, inventory is at historic lows and homes hitting the market are going under contract almost immediately, oftentimes experiencing multiple offers, in turn selling for above list price. I recently sold a condo at 37 Beacon Street in Beacon Hill for $2,300,000, $200,000 above list price, after a cash bidding war within 2 days. This scenario is seen more and more…and real estate agents need to be very well versed in strategically representing buyers, as do listing agents in managing multiple offers. While some condo developments are slated and in the works, the majority of cranes seen downtown Boston/Cambridge are in the midst of building rental- housing , with a projected 10,000 apartments coming on board. This means that low inventory for purchased housing will still place upward pressure on pricing for the foreseeable future despite any future changes in interest rates.

The Mortgage Application Process Has Changed – Learn What to Do by Susan Neves-Coito

Over the years the mortgage application process has become more difficult and added more procedures. The days of “having a pulse you can get a mortgage” have ended. These days you will need to have a good credit score, prove income and most of the time have a down payment. Knowing what to have ready and what to expect is half the battle. Credit Scores: Lenders are relying heavily on credit scores. Interest rates are on a tiered basis with the best rates going to the customers with the highest scores, the ones putting 20% down and with the mortgage amounts higher than $125,000.00. Conventional loans have the tougher requirements on scores asking for as low as 620 or higher with some lenders. FHA loan requirements are a little looser with some lenders allowing 640 scores and the same with VA. Your lender will also has you for a letter for all the credit inquiries for the creditors that pulled your credit. They are looking to see if you have any new debts that have not shown on your credit bureau yet. 72

NEHomeLife.com | August 2013

Extra Credit Checks: An added guideline is now right before your closing your lender will do another credit check to see if there have been any additional new debts. If you are in an application do NOT get a new car, credit card or loan. Employment: Lenders require two years of income taxes and one month of paystubs. No more “stated income or no-income loans”. Job stability is carefully reviewed and par t of the approval process. Also if you are self employed the income is reviewed and averaged for two years looking at the bottom line and adding back some items such as depreciation from your Schedule C form. Verification: Due to the economy most lenders wait to verify the borrowers’ employment a few days before closing. Switching jobs can be difficult if not communicated to your lender. Stay in touch and advise what has been occurring with your employment.

Down Payments: Most of the mortgages require a down payment. Mass Housing still offers 3% down for a single family. FHA you will need 3.5% down. Also these programs the 3% can be a gift but that gift needs to be properly documented. Conventional loans require 5% down or more. Investment properties will require 20% to 25% down depending upon how many units.This will vary by lender.There are still the VA loans which require no down payment but you must be a Veteran or a member of the military. The USDA loan also no money down but has income restrictions and is only for designated rural areas. Mortgage Insurance: the new guideline that FHA released now changed FHA to have PMI for the life of the loan. This has borrowers looking at different loans to avoid monthly PMI. Mass Housing has a program that offers no monthly PMI where the interest rate is just a little higher. Also you can put down as little as 5% on a conventional mortgage and have no monthly PMI with a higher interest rate. Over the life of the loan it will save you money due to the still lower interest rate environment. Also the VA and the USDA still have no monthly PMI. Deposits Into Accounts: Review your savings and your checking accounts before you hand them to your lender. Your accounts will be reviewed for large deposits and you will be asked to verify where that money came from. If you have direct deposit and made additional deposits then you will be asked about those deposits as well. The Patriot Act asks that all lenders review the assets for borrowers and verify large deposits. Review your accounts and have that ready for your lender before you hand it in. IN CONCLUSION: The mortgage process has gone through changes and the standards for getting a mortgage have tightened. If you have all the necessary items ready and be patient with your lender when they ask you for items. Your lender is following the guidelines that has been placed on them. Buying a home should be a pleasant experience and communicating with your lender can solve most of the issues. Find a lender that you are comfortable with and that will answer all your questions. You will find that First Eastern Mortgage will be here to support you through the buying process and guide you every step of the way.

Live Where You Play

Golf Course Living in New England By Tim Branco

If you love golf than nothing is better than living close to your favorite place to play. While this is easy in Florida where thousands of golf courses and golf course communities offer endless choices at almost every price point. It is a little more of a challenge here in New England where there are far less golf course communities to choose from. There is also the option of living adjacent to a golf course and in most cases finding a home abutting a private country club is always a better value in the long run. Golf Courses are great neighbors and 100 + acres of well maintained park like property abutting your home creates a wonderful environment for living and enjoying the great game of golf. Golf is a sport unlike any other that you may play well into retirement years and enjoy time on the course with family and friends. Private golf course membership has become much more affordable in the last 10 years with many facilities offering all types of flexible categories of membership at their clubs. It is never too late to take up the game and

golf offers great exercise for those that enjoy walking. The average golfer can walk up to five miles during an 18 hole round. The Bay Club in Mattapoisett offers one of the best golf course community experiences in New England with a pristine facility located just off Cape Cod in Southeastern, MA. The homes and facilities are simply magnificent and the club offers a full slate of activities besides one of the finest private golf facilities in New England. On the other end of the spectrum in Taunton, Ma Indian Ridge Condominiums are built bordering Segregansett Country Club one of the regions most historic private golf courses dating back to 1893.Indian Ridge is nestled neatly alongside the course with only 40-50 units and is a very private well developed complex. There are a number of residents who are members at the club. If you play golf, live where you play and enjoy all the benefits of golf course living in New England.
